Daggerheart (2025)

Overview

Daggerheart is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game published by Darrington Press, an imprint of Critical Role Productions. The game was released in 2025.

Description

Daggerheart is a story-docused role-playing game system, where the rules direct players to think narratively and not just mechanically. The game uses a system called Duality Dice, where players roll two twelve-sided dice. One for Hope and one for Fear. In addition to determining whether the character achieves success or fails at the action they are trying to perform, it also generates a helpful Hope resource for the player, or a challenging Fear resource for the game master (GM). Lead designer Spenser Starke explained that there is "also no initiative in Daggerheart". It functions very much like a
Forged in the Dark https://groupfinder.eu/library/forged-in-the-dark-2017
or a
Powered By The Apocalypse
game, where the GM is making moves on certain dice rolls and we're passing play back and forth as a conversation. It all flows together in a way that supports the storytelling-first direction that Critical Role has really embraced over the last decade". The game features 279 supplemental cards to track player abilities and characteristics. Darrington Press also launched several digital resources, including an online custom card creator.

New to Daggerheart? Jump into the action with an adventure! Join and learn to play Daggerheart, a system from the team at Critical Role. This adventure will teach you the basics of Daggerheart! A magical forest has appeared overnight at the city’s edge, warping reality with vibrant trees, shifting paths, and strange creatures. Tasked with investigating, you and your party will find that the forest defies ordinary rules. You must confront its puzzles, trials, and encounters that test creativity, patience, and teamwork rather than just combat skill, and every choice you make shapes how the forest responds and what secrets it reveals. This short 6 to 8 session adventure is perfect for D&D players trying Daggerheart for the first time. You’ll start at level 1 and finish at level 2, experiencing both roleplay and combat while exploring whimsical, Feywild-inspired magic. Strange occurrences, playful transformations, and unusual creatures will keep you and your party engaged and wondering what’s real; and what is the forest’s enchantment. At moments where the Feywild touches the material plane, magic becomes alive and emotions heightened, creating unexpected, delightful experiences. Danger is rare; discovery, creativity, and teamwork take center stage. What to expect: 🔷 Linear, episodic sessions. Great for those who are objective minded 🔷 Weekly test of morals and values each episode 🔷 In the moment world building to stretch you creativity 🔷 Epic battle finale where you recruit allies 🔷 The realism of the everyday fantasy world mixed with the whimsy of the magical Feywild The forest isn’t just a place to explore, it’s an invitation for you and your party to play differently, think differently, and see how your choices shape the story. Are you ready to step inside together? A breakdown of the campaign can be found at this primer to help you get a grasp of the tone and feel. $30 + SPG fees Per a player per a session. Game can be found here on SPG. Contact me if you have any questions at all.

Greetings! I’m a story‑focused player who loves digging into character motivations, meaningful choices, and the kind of roleplay that makes sessions feel memorable. I’m looking for a consistent group, ideally in person in Houston, TX, meeting on Wednesday evenings or weekends. My schedule can vary, but once a time is set, I’m reliable and committed. I play with the party’s well‑being and the story’s momentum in mind. I’m not big on selfish character goals; I enjoy characters who grow through cooperation, tough decisions, and shared challenges. I’m here for narrative-first play involving emotional beats, character arcs, strange magic, mysteries, and the occasional “we’re in this together” moment. Combat is fun when it’s meaningful or cinematic, but I don’t need to punish goblins or reanimated corpses for a whole three-hour session. I’m less drawn to political intrigue, but I’m very happy in fantasy or sci‑fi settings with rich worlds, interesting stakes, and room for characters to breathe and evolve. If your campaign values atmosphere, collaboration, and characters who feel like real people, we’ll get along great.

I'm Izzy. 28. They/it.  I have over 10 years of experience in the tabletop space. On/off over the years with playing as finding groups that stay together takes time.  I have played in 2 completed 5e dnd campaigns that lasted over 2 years separately. Rime of the Frostmaiden & a homebrew Strahd campaign.  I will happily play in 5e & 5.5e games, though I have had an increased interest in p2fe/p2fre!  Tabletop games i have liked and played, would play again: 5e, pf2e, Vampire the Masquerade, Monster of the Week, Monsterhearts, Wanderhome, Call of Cthulhu  Tabletops I have not played but would be interested in: Blades in the Dark, Scum and Villainy, other Powered by the Apocalypse games or Forged in the Dark games, pf1e, Werewolf the Apocalypse, other World of Darkness games, Cyberpunk Red, etc etc My main goal as a player is to be a group player, to be someone that is wholly on the team with the other players! I love the collaborative nature of tabletop most, and why I always hold myself to be flexible and prioritize everyone's enjoyment and keep the table flowing! My characrer ideas are always many, but playing a characrer to the T is not a priority in the sense; that if it disrupts the flow and story of the table or conflicts wirh the group? Then I scrap that idea or develop the character different to mesh better!

Brandon
Hello my name is Brandon; I am looking to get into a group of 5-6 players plus the DM for a long campaign. I am brand new and haven't got any experience really just from what I've seen when watching campaigns but not actually playing. I am on EST and would like to have a later start time around 9:30PM that lasts 3-4Hrs on a weekly basis. I have 3 kiddos who go to bed at 9PM that's why the later start time but if it needed to be a bit earlier, I could work with that as well depending on how much earlier. As I'm brand new and will need some help to get started but I'm a quick learner and super eager to play. I would like a group that plans on being together for a long time as to play multiple campaigns together would be super cool and a lot of fun. I'm an open book and a go with the flow type. I would really like a DnD high fantasy type but again open to all types and not just DnD. Please any questions reach out, and I look forward to hearing from you future Party!!!!

Draw Steel (2025)

Rules-medium
Draw Steel is a tactical heroic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game designed by Matt Colville and the team at MCDM Productions. It is built to provide a modern, cinematic alternative to traditional d20 fantasy games. It focuses on high action, tactical depth, and ensuring that every player character feels like a legendary hero from the very first level. The system it is a spiritual successor to is Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Description In Draw Steel, players take on the roles of Heroes. Unlike other systems, the characters are heroes from the start. The characters are already capable of taking on the world and whatever threats may arise. The system encourages a highly tactical approach to combat encounters, promoting teamwork and clever use of abilities to control and affect any battlefield they might find themselves at. System Overview & Key Features The 2d10 Core Mechanic The game abandons the d20 focus and instead offers two ten-sided dice (2d10) instead. This creates a better mathematical average and becomes more predictable and reliable. No To Hit Rolls Draw Steel eliminates the traditional roll to hit. Instead, heroes automatically hit their targets with their primary abilities, but they roll to determine how much Power or impact the effect has. This keeps the game focused on making meaningful tactical choices rather than wasting turns on a miss. Heroic Resources Each class manages a unique resource, such as Focus or Valor, which builds up during a fight. These resources are spent to activate powerful Signature Moves and Heroic Abilities, ensuring that combat has a rising sense of drama and escalation as the heroes grow more powerful the longer a battle lasts. Tactical Movement and Forced Position Combat is designed for a grid. Many abilities do more than just deal damage; they allow players to slide, push, or pull enemies and allies across the battlefield. Positioning is vital, and the environment is intended to be a weapon that heroes can use to their advantage. Tiered Success Action resolution often uses three tiers of success. A low roll might provide a success with a cost, a middle roll is a standard success, and a high roll is a spectacular success that might trigger bonus effects or additional damage. This ensures that every roll contributes something to the ongoing narrative. Links mcdmproductions.com - Official MCDM Productions website mcdm.gg - MCDM community and developer portal

This approach adds additional atmosphere and characterization to the game’s setting. Playtest Campaign No Lime Light Productions also features a long-running “solo couples” playtest campaign. The series follows the game’s creators through their sessions, capturing the story as it unfolds, the emotional moments that come with it, and the ways they push and test the Prosper system.

Untitled Game is a Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast and the premise is pretty simple: A group of strangers crash lands on a remote tropical island and survival instinct quickly kicks in. The deeper they go into the jungle, the stranger things get—old cave paintings, impossible storms, things whisper threats in the dark. It’s played pretty loose and natural—no actors, no heavy editing polish—just a group of nerds leaning into the creepy weirdness and seeing where the story goes. Sometimes tense, sometimes funny, occasionally very bad decisions, always a bunch of cursing. If you’re into: slow-burn mystery horror with a weird edge tabletop actual play that feels more like a late-night campfire story …you might just enjoy it. Join our survivors as they peel back the layers of a mystery where every choice matters - and one wrong step might just be their last.
